MC-3 Smart Clocks

The MC-3 SMART CLOCKs are universal, digital audio and SD/HD video sync reference clock generators. MC-3 SMART CLOCK, MC-3.1 SMART CLOCK SD and MC-3.2 SMART CLOCK HD provide different lowest-jitter clock signals for synchronization of AD/DA converters, digital mixers, audio and video workstations and many other devices. All three device are succsessors of MUTEC‘s SMART CLOCK and SMART CLOCK av which were previously sold very successfully worldwide.

The new MC-3 SMART CLOCKs offer enhanced jitter performance, higher flexibility, more outputs per unit and a new designed user interface. Based on the circuit design of MUTEC‘s well-known iCLOCK, Redundant Multiple Clock Synthesizer and Video Reference Generator, the MC-3‘s signal qualities and function flexibilities achieve levels of performance, which are totally outstanding in their respective market ranges!

FEATURES:

• Improvement of the studio’s sound quality overall.
• Elimination of “Clicks and Pops” in digital audio recordings.
• Synchronization of devices with different clock rates simultaneously.
• Generation of 7 lowest jitter basis Word Clock frequencies ranging from 32.0kHz up to 192.0kHz.
• Word Clock outputs can be multiplied with factors x1, x2, x4 and x256 for a total of 15 different Word Clock frequencies.
• Frequency accuracy in compliance with AES11, Grade 1.
• Generation of PAL/NTSC + NTSC b/w SD video sync signals as Black + Burst, composite sync or color bar with MC-3.1 SMART CLOCK SD.
• Phase-synchronized generation of S/PDIF and AES/EBU blank frames.
• All adjustments are retained after power-down.
• Simple, new user interface.
• Built-in international power supply.
